Colour this quote

Artists in Blogland has recently started a challenge called 'Colour This Quote' and this month one I suggested was pulled out of the hat.

Always be a first-rate version of yourself instead of a second-rate version of somebody else.     Judy Garland

This is great advice. Why would you want to be a pale imitation of someone else rather than your own beautiful self? If you try to be like someone else you are depriving the world of the unique blend of skill, talent, temperament and passion that is YOU.

So stop hiding behind a mask and bless the world by blossoming into the true, authentic person you were made to be.

Colour This Quote over on Artists in Blogland has this quote this month:

"Write it on your heart that every day is the best day of the year." Ralph Waldo Emerson.

If we constantly look to the past, that's nostalgia.

If we waste our lives waiting for tomorrow, that's wishful thinking.

If we enjoy each day, that's living.

Choose to live.

C is for Creative

We're up to C on An A to Z of Me. C is for creative. 

I have no problem with understanding that I am creative. I am made in the image of God and He is the Creator of all. Therefore I must be creative :)

And so are you. However that takes its form - cooking, sewing, being able to put a good outfit together, keeping a tidy house, being able to cast a story, being able to explain a concept to someone else in an understandable way. All these are creative things. 

And I am created for a reason. I am not a mistake or a random birth. I am deliberately chosen for a purpose. 

Have you found yours?

And on Artists in Blogland there is a new monthly challenge going on: Colour This Quote. 

I have to admit that the only quilting I have done has been with squares. I dyed and patterned the fabric myself but didn't go in for any of the fancy piecing that I so admire in others' work. I'm sure these patterns I've used in paper have special names but I don't know them. 

Have fun seeing what everyone else has done over at An A to Z of Me and Artists in Blogland by clicking the links above.
